27 Bizarre Home Remedies That Actually Work

Put Potatoes On Bug Bites

Most bug bites are not life-threatening, but they can be incredibly annoying, especially if you are camping or without access to medical supplies. However, if you have a stocked kitchen or are near a grocery store, you likely have access to potatoes. With their anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties, potatoes are a great natural remedy for bug bites. Slice open a fresh potato and rub it onto the bug bite, or tape it against the skin with medical tape. You can also cut up and blend the potatoes and apply it like a paste to the infected area which will protect the skin.
